A Spork in the Road

Had my blood work on Tuesday, and my white counts were very low. So I’ve been doing Neupogen this week to rescue my immune system.

The last couple days I’ve finally been feeling peppy again. They say you can’t feel when your white counts are low, but I’ll tell you, I felt like I’d been wrung out the first couple of days of the week, and now my counts are back up I feel a whole lot better. Might be coincidental, but in any event, I’m feeling better and very excited about this upcoming landmark Tuesday.

My hair is growing in much thicker already, but I’m getting it shaved down one last time to erase the sad little bald spot I have on the top of my head from wearing my headphones when my hair was still prone to fall out easily.

I’m looking forward to having real eyebrows again. And eyelashes. My eyes look naked if I don’t wear eyeliner.

Also nose hair. Very excited about having nose hair again.

Ah, cancer. The things we care about.

Afternoon Update: Just took my last Neupogen shot! As I was plunging the needle into my belly fat, it occurred to me that this is probably the last time I’ll be giving myself a shot for a long time!
